As Nigeria promotes the use of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) through the Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (PCNGI), many vehicle owners are exploring this affordable and eco-friendly alternative.
Before making the switch, consider these crucial factors:
1. Vehicle Suitability
Not all vehicles are compatible with CNG conversion. Passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, and modern engines (less than 10 years old) are ideal. High-performance, turbocharged, or older engines may face challenges.
2. Vehicle Age and Condition
Cars in good condition and under 10 years old are better suited for CNG conversion. Older vehicles or those with mechanical issues may not handle the switch well.
3. Emission Standards
Ensure your vehicle meets Nigeria’s emission standards before conversion. Older cars may not comply, making them ineligible.
4. Conversion Kit Selection
Choose between Sequential and Venturi kits based on your vehicle’s make, model, and engine type. Sequential kits suit modern vehicles, while Venturi kits are better for older cars.
5. Certified Conversion Centre
Ensure safety and efficiency by using a certified conversion centre with trained technicians. Companies like NIPCO Plc, Bovas, Axxela, and NNPC Limited offer conversion services.
